    Just wanted to know everyone's opinion on the truck in general, good or bad. What are your experiences with this truck? I like the look of the truck an the layout of the inside of the cab. Definitely loved the leg room it gave me when I was with my trainer a ways back. Thanks ya.ll

    I'd like to think that truck ran fairly good with that amount of miles and that year. They can be great trucks try and get all the maintenance history on it. I haven't driven a good one i had one with the maxxforce and lived in the shop but guys with the isx didn't have that problem.
     
    wistrucker101 Thanks this.

    Get the service records for sure. At that mileage on a ISX theres a good chance it will be needing a new DPF in the next 100k miles if it hasn't been replaced already.

    Good truck and engine, the only problem is, by time you are due for DOC and DPF cleaning and probably replacement, EGR cooler if it hasn't been done, doser injector as well. Big bucks!
     
    wistrucker101 Thanks this.

    If it's got the Maxforce run away, Cummins ISX is a good motor, truck in general isn't a bad truck as long as you have the right power plant.
